Accomplishment & Assessment College & Job Applica.ons Express Whole Person Lifelong Learning A porIolio tells a story. It is the story of knowing. Knowing about things... Knowing oneself... Knowing an audience... PorIolios are students' own stories of what they know, why they believe they know it, and why others should be of the same opinion. A porIolio is opinion backed by fact... Students prove what they know with samples of their work. Paulson and Paulson (pioneers of porIolios from construc.vist standpoint)
